I rejoice in Your promise like one who finds great spoil.
163 Ndimadana ndi chinyengo, kwambiri ndimanyansidwa nacho, koma ndimakonda malamulo anu.
I hate and abhor falsehood, but Your law I love.
164 Ndimakutamandani kasanu ndi kawiri pa tsiku pakuti malamulo anu ndi olungama.
Seven times a day I praise You for Your righteous judgments.
165 Amene amakonda malamulo anu ali ndi mtendere waukulu, ndipo palibe chimene chingawapunthwitse
Abundant peace belongs to those who love Your instruction; nothing can make them stumble.
166 Ndikudikira chipulumutso chanu, Inu Yehova, ndipo ndimatsatira malamulo anu.
I wait for Your salvation, O LORD, and I carry out Your commandments.
167 Ndimamvera umboni wanu pakuti ndimawukonda kwambiri.
I obey Your testimonies and love them greatly.
168 Ndimamvera malangizo anu ndi umboni wanu, pakuti njira zanga zonse ndi zodziwika pamaso panu.
I obey Your precepts and Your testimonies, for all my ways are before You.
169 Kulira kwanga kufike pamaso panu Yehova; patseni nzeru zomvetsa zinthu molingana ndi mawu anu.
May my cry come before You, O LORD; give me understanding according to Your word.
170 Kupempha kwanga kufike pamaso panu; pulumutseni molingana ndi lonjezo lanu.
May my plea come before You; rescue me according to Your promise.
171 Matamando asefukire pa milomo yanga, pakuti Inu mumandiphunzitsa malamulo anu.
My lips pour forth praise, for You teach me Your statutes.
172 Lilime langa liyimbe mawu anu, popeza malamulo anu onse ndi olungama.
My tongue sings of Your word, for all Your commandments are righteous.
173 Dzanja lanu likhale lokonzeka kundithandiza pakuti ndasankha malangizo anu.
May Your hand be ready to help me, for I have chosen Your precepts.
174 Ndikufunitsitsa chipulumutso chanu Yehova, ndipo ndimakondwera ndi malamulo anu.
I long for Your salvation, O LORD, and Your law is my delight.
175 Loleni kuti ndikhale ndi moyo kuti ndikutamandeni, ndipo malamulo anu andichirikize.
Let me live to praise You; may Your judgments sustain me.
176 Ndasochera ngati nkhosa yotayika, funafunani mtumiki wanu, pakuti sindinayiwale malamulo anu.
I have strayed like a lost sheep; seek Your servant, for I have not forgotten Your commandments.
